The benefits of the net metering option for a self-generator

• You are guaranteed a reliable supply of electricity from the Hydro-Québec grid, but you still have a certain amount of energy independence.
• You receive credits for surplus kilowatthours you produce, reducing your electricity bill.
• You can reduce your electricity storage capacity if you wish, cutting the cost of buying and storing batteries.
• For small-power customers and farmers in particular, the net metering option can be an attractive solution to environmental problems.
